Three interesting facts about sleep..

Ducks at risk of attack by predators are able to balance the need for sleep and survival by keeping one half of the brain awake while the other side slips into sleep mode.

A new baby typically results in 400-750 hours of lost sleep for the parents in the first year.

Some scientists believe we sleep to fix experiences in long-term memory, that is, we dream about things which are worth remembering. Others reckon we dream about things worth forgetting to eliminate overlapping memories that would otherwise clog up our brains.
